In reply to: 's message, "Low balling and high balling are eliminated with the highest and lowest scores being eliminated. Davia made top 5 in Miracle Maker and if judges scored correctly and did not inflate talent contestant 1 would not have made the cut. As stated. Yes composite score is assigned determines the out come. For instantance if the judges are told we are looking for someone fresh and new who is extremely well spoken and has the ability to help keep the pageant growing by connecting with the people in SC in a way that has not been done. We want someone that will take direction and put the organization before all else. Her speaking ability must be superb & showing she can bring in sponsors and fundraise.. Now what do you think the judges are looking to crown? Manipulation of who comes out on top is being shown to you in.more ways than one. The point was to show you how you can crown who you want to win. ." on Sunday, July 21, 12:00:30am

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: It's not hard to believe that the judges may have been charged based on MSCO standards v/s the MAO. If this is so, then MSCO charge clearly to the judges were we do not care about if Miss SC doesn’t win MA, we just want someone to come back with assisting our program. If this be so, then MSCO need to cut their ties with the MAO, and become an independent pageant like some of the other states. But the girls that currently competes for Miss SC, have the hope of winning MA, and or performing their talent on the MA stage. So, instead of SC getting girls hopes up, tell all of them to quit spending excessive amount of money on talent coaches and costumes. They need to be transparent. But lets be CLEAR the judges were NOT charged to pick the most well rounded talented girl that can possibly help SC win MA.
